You and Mr. Fowles have decided to race each other at the Boston Marathon (26 miles long). Mr. Fowles runs at a steady 4.2 miles

per hour. He knows your best time is 3 miles per hour so he gives you a 3 mile lead. When will he catch you? How far behind are you when Mr. Fowles finishes the race? How much longer will it take for you to finish?

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is the time rate of change of velocity, it is the ratio of distance to time.

Mr. Fowles runs at a steady 4.2 miles per hour. The time taken to cover 26 miles is:

speed = distance / time

time = distance / speed = 26 / 4.2 = 6.19 hour

I run at 3 miles per hour. I was given 3 mile lead, so the remaining distance is 23 miles (26 - 3). The time needed to complete the 23 miles is:

time = distance / speed = 23 / 3 = 7.67 hour

a) Let d be the distance Mr Fowles catches me. Hence:

time = (d + 3)/4.2; also time = d/3

(d + 3)/4.2 = d/3

3d + 9 = 4.2d

1.2d = 9

d = 7.5 miles

He would catch me at 10.5 (7.5 + 3) miles from the starting point.

b) Mr. fowles finishes after 6.19 hour. At that time, the distance is have covered is:

distance = 6.19 * 3 mi/hr = 18.57 mile

Distance behind = 23 mile - 18.57 = 4.43 mile

c) time longer = 7.67 hour - 6.19 hour = 1.48 hour

What is the measure of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle if one of its base angles measures 54° A) 126 B) 72 C) 63 D) 10
Amiraneli [1.4K]
An isosceles triangle has congruent base angles, so if one of the base angles measure 54 degrees, then the other base angle does, too.
And a triangle measures up to 180 degrees.
180 = x + 2(54)
180 = x + 108
x = 72
So the answer is B) 72

EFV and EDW are straight lines.<br>Find the value of x and of y.​
Makovka662 [10]

Answers:

x = 72

y = 83

============================================================

Explanation:

Angle VFG is 50 degrees. The angle adjacent to this is angle EFG which is 180-50 = 130 degrees.

Angle HDW is 77 degrees. The supplementary angle adjacent to this is 180-77 = 103 degrees which is angle EDH.

Pentagon EFGHD has the following five interior angles

  • E = x
  • F = 130
  • G = 170
  • H = 65
  • D = 103

Note that angles F = 130 and D = 103 were angles EFG and EDH we calculated earlier.

For any pentagon, the interior angles always add to 180(n-2) = 180(5-2) = 180*3 = 540 degrees.

This means,

E+F+G+H+D = 540

x+130+170+65+103 = 540

x+468 = 540

x = 72

---------------------------------------

Now focus your attention on triangle THS

We see that the interior angles are

  • T = y
  • H = 65
  • S = 32

The angle H is 65 degrees because it's paired with the other 65 degree angle shown. They are vertical angles.

For any triangle, the angles always add to 180

T+H+S = 180

y+65+32 = 180

y+97 = 180

y = 180-97

y = 83

A rectangular window has a length of 81.47 cm and a width of 34.2 cm. What is the least precise measurement of the perimeter of
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

In our case the least precise is the one with no decimal units, in our case 231 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter=2(L+w)

where;

L=length=81.47 cm

W=width=34.2 cm

Replacing;

Perimeter=2(81.47+34.2)=231.34 cm

The most precise is the one with the highest decimal units, for example 231.34 in our case the least precise is the one with no decimal units, in our case 231
